Like most other things, there is a tradeoff here which depends on what your
needs are.
If you're developing software ON Debian:
- Is any of the software in stable too old to meet your needs?
- If none, run stable
- If some, consider recompiling the packages you need from unstable and
running mostly-stable
- If many, consider running unstable
If you're developing software FOR Debian (e.g., packaging), run unstable (or
an unstable chroot).
